The teleology of "living education" is about being a man, how to get along with others better, pursue happiness, serve the society and realize the value of life. Mr. Chen Heqin once said: "The purpose of life education is to be a man, a China person and a modern China person". Chen Heqin's words are ordinary and not simple, and contain profound philosophy.
At present, there are many problems in kindergartens, such as teachers ignoring children's autonomy, too much explicit control over children, and teachers adopting injection teaching. These practices affect children's enthusiasm and autonomy, resulting in children losing the opportunity to think independently, judge independently and act independently. Therefore, teachers should be in the position of implicit control in teaching and guide children to carry out educational activities as friends of children.
The teleology of "life education" put forward by Chen Heqin mainly includes the following requirements for "being a man":
(1) Be in good health. The body is the capital of all activities, and it is necessary to have a sound body to serve the country and shoulder the heavy responsibility of saving the country.
(2) Have the ability to build. Human capacity building is an inevitable requirement of social development. At that time, China was riddled with holes and dilapidated, and people urgently needed the ability to revitalize.
③ Be creative. At that time, what China people needed most was creativity. The autocratic rule of two thousand years has imprisoned people's thoughts, and the imperial examination system of more than one thousand years has seriously limited people's creativity. Compared with foreign countries, foreign education attaches great importance to cultivating children's creative ability. Mr. Chen Heqin gave many examples to prove this point. Children are good at creation, and a little guidance can get twice the result with half the effort.
